'One is silver'...

So I'm hearing rumors that a good friend of mine is playing an LA gig - the dates aren't up on the site but I expect it'll be next weekend or thereabouts. It's a rare occurence indeed and this makes me very happy.
In the meantime I can't stop listening to the Hold Steady record, except when I'm listening to the latest Wheat record. The Hold Steady is fronted by Craig Finn, late of the dearly departed Lifter Puller; the members of Wheat are probably ex-something but their pedigree escapes me. Both are dynamite records, though The Hold Steady's Almost Killed Me is more the kind of dynamite that blows up and does bad, bad things to people's fingers.
